When my tour leader decided to bring us to the Sky Gallery, we were anticipating a restaurant on top of some building and thought nothing much of it.

But when we arrived at the Sky Gallery, we were astounded, we were mesmerized and seriously, I have to say that it is hard to find a more glorious place to have a drink, chill and spend an hour or so with friends or family members, or with your date/ spouse....

We had just arrived at the U-Tapao International Airport in Pattaya, Thailand and passed the immigration check point when some gorgeous models (AirAsia Thailand staff??) handed us some lotus shaped bread and urged us to take some pictures with them.

I have always found those Hot Air Balloons fascinating.. but I have not gotten the chance to get up on one... a fact that I hope can be remedied one day soon...

Let me share 3 fascinating facts out of many others.....

A sheep, a duck and a chicken were the first passengers aboard a hot air balloon. They also fortunately survived the very first hot air balloon flight, which lasted just about eight minutes... and all of this was in 1783, when the first hot air balloon was set to fly over the heads of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and the French court in Versailles..

The longest hot air balloon flight ever recorded was piloted by Richard Branson. It began in Japan and ended safely in northern Canada. This hot air balloon flight happen to be the fastest recorded as well, flying across the skies at 245 miles per hour!!

Did you know you cannot fly hot air balloon flights in the rain. This is because the heat inside of the balloon can turn the rain water to boiling temperatures on top of the balloon, thereby destroying hot air balloon fabric.

During October, Triumph recently launched its “Find the One” short animated movie that brings to life the magical experience of finding the perfect fitted bra. Did you see it? I really loved it.....if you haven't check it out by clicking here....

Maximizer Cleavage on Demand Turn up the volume and lace it together for maximum boost. Seductive, sensual and sophisticated, there is a perfect choice for your every occasion.

Have you ever found yourself working
from somewhere other than your office cubicle? Like that time you answered work
emails whilst down at the bistro with friends for your usual Friday night catch
up? How about that time you frantically rushed off an important report from the
nearby café because the Wi-Fi at work failed you yet again? If the scenarios
above struck a chord, it could be that you are one of many Malaysians with an
ever-changing work habit, and whose regular routine may not necessarily even
involve stepping into the office.

Being a blogger, I know for sure I have done that, and I need to bring my lap top on my trips and such so I can update my blogs and such....

Yours truly was over at TGV Luxe 1 Utama to catch the special screening of this amazing real life documentary film yesterday with my little daughter. And I must say that this documentary film is really inspiring and teaches us about standing up for what we strongly believe in as well as not giving up....

Fox documentary film about Pakistani-born student and youngest Nobel Peace
Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, and this documentary film premieres on Astro Best (CH 481) from Thursday, 26th November.

I just heard something pretty interesting....!!! PUMA Malaysia is doing a collaboration with
friendly neighbourhood joint, The Bee! The collaboration between PUMA with the restaurant
cum community space was stemmed from their mutual love for good taste and
distinctive style from the rest.

Early Sunday morning I was at Padang Merbok. It was the first time I was there as somehow I never quite arrived there before. I have been to the Royal Lake Gardens and the Tugu Peringatan for as long as I can remember, but somehow I missed out on Padang Merbok. But I finally got there on early Sunday morning...

Cats
are wonderful pets to have. Independent with unique personalities of their own,
cats are fuss-free and low maintenance pets. Nevertheless, like many pet
owners, you may still want to give your furkid undivided attention, love and
care. After all, being attentive to your cat’s wellbeing can help
prevent potential health issues for your pet.

So with this, WHISKAS Malaysia and I am sharing ways to recognise the signs of a healthy cat to help our furkids live long and healthy – in all nine lives...

Who has not picked up a copy of the AirAsia travel 3sixty magazine? I know I used to covet it sooo much I would smuggle one out from the plane years ago...(ooops, I confessed) and how could I resist... that magazine was just sooooo interesting, colourful and packed with beautiful photos and amazing tips....then finally they launch the online version and I was on cloud nine.... yeah... this awesome magazine can be read now online at www.travel3sixty.com and you can also read it in Chinese or even Thai!!! hahahah.. so no more sneaking the magazines off the planes for me...

You really have to admit there
is nothing like the smell of fragrant freshly-washed laundry, cookies baking in the oven,
or freshly blooming flowers to put a smile on your face. Lovely scents simply lift our spirits, making us feel more positive and
nurturing, even when our environment is stressful or overwhelming.

It has been said that our sense of smell is 10,000 times more sensitive than our other senses, therefore it is pretty clear why scents may affect us more than other sensations. Yet, why are smells so strongly linked to emotions?

Yours truly along with her mini me was at the Garage KL which was along Jalan Hulu Kelang recently to check out how Yonder Music would be providing their subscribers with unlimited digital music experience and it was definitely mind blowing.....

Ok, this is going to be a mix rojak dual language post (Bahasa Malaysia and English) for all Malaysian friends as the story is actually in both English (some broken English is to be expected....) and Bahasa Malaysia....

Strawberi & Karipap is a kids tv series on Astro Ceria that depicts the story of Nini (Mia Sara) and Haikal (Raykarl Iskandar) who often have a different opinion from each other, but then they came to realize something they have in common which is a perfect family.

Nini and Haikal lives on rotation with Lisa and Hairi because Nini's mom and Haikal's dad happen to be pursuing their studies abroad.Sick and tired of moving between Lisa and Hairi's homes, Nini and Haikal conspired to unite both Lisa and Hairi as well as their parents...

Anyway, this latest tele movie depicts the story where Lisa and Hairi have gotten married.. but they are unhappily married as they are forever fighting like cats and dogs, to the exasperation of the two kids...

This blog post is strictly for fun and for Lee Min Ho's fans which my little girl is and I also am.... hahaha.....They are from several TVCs I came across on YouTube, so these are all sourced from YouTube...I do not own any of them...and well, they belong to their respective owners.. just sharing for the fun of sharing and enjoying it.. LOL

I was there at Luna Bar, Pacific Regency Hotel earlier this week to check out the Spritzer Slide the City Malaysia media preview which was was also graced by Malaysia’s diving darling, Olympic medallist Pandelela Rinong.

Isn't it a bane when you suffer from dandruff and it makes your scalp itch and messes up by leaving flakes all over your black or navy blue top. I would know as I do have problematic scalp and dandruff happens when I do not do much about it and this can pretty much make me feel bad and embarrassed about myself...

Since its
debut on CLEAR Malaysia’s official Youtube platform, ‘Pelangi Cinta’, which you really have to watch... have you watched it?? If not, I have it below this blog post - be sure to watch it....CLEAR’s very own webisode series about love and confidence has garnered a viewership of more than 2.3 million.

This campaign ended with a sweet
note at an exclusive tea party featuring CLEAR’s Agent of Confidence, Shaheizy
Sam.

Christmas is just around the corner and it's that time of that year again when shopping malls are all decked out in their festive best..... I just love going to malls at this time of the year to look at all the decorations...

It's time to buckle down and get
ready for a rip-roaring time this Christmas at eCurve! With swell fellas and glamorous
flappers, eCurve is ushering in the festive season in a glitzy and glittering
fashion!

So yours truly was over at the Sunway Pyramid early Saturday morning to attend the Sunway Medical Centre's World Diabetes Day event. Diabetes has always been something I worry a lot about as my husband has been a diabetic for 20 years now....and both of us always fear the complications that might arise from it.

But at the same time, he tends to be stubborn and self indulgent and gives in to his craving for all the things he should now, such as rice, fizzy drinks and cigarettes and do not exercise that much... and this stresses me out no end though we do try our best to counter it with medicine.

And it was also because of Diabetes that my husband suffered from two mild stroke attacks (thankfully they were mild!!)...

I was over at Muse by Watsons over the weekend with other Butterflies and Caterpillars from the Butterfly Project headed by Tammy Lim...When I was there , I was among the earliest so I got to get a makeover first...or rather a touch up by the make up artistes there....

As a woman, beauty is always important and a makeover can always be an awesome pick me up and get our confidence soaring sky high...

Yours truly was excited when blogger pal Kelly invited me to be her plus one to watch the latest instalment of James Bond 007 - Spectre at GSC Tropicana Mall , thanks to Spinzer and also Dominos who were the organiser and sponsors...

I have always been a fan of Bond movies since I followed my mom to watch them as a kid....and always found them interesting, thrilling and sexy... hahahah

During my last trip to Melaka, just before heading back home to Malacca Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary or better known as the Taman Rama Rama Melaka in Ayer Keroh... My daughter wanted to see the animals there....and it had been ages since I last visited the place...

For many Malaysians, it is no secret that they live to eat more than they eat to live....Self -reward and indulgence would never be complete without having food in the equation. Malaysians are willing to travel across great distances in pursuit of a bowl of authentic Penang Assam Laksa or even a lovely plate of East Coast's favourite Nasi Dagang.

And it's not just about eating. Malaysians love to savour their flavours. Malaysian food are among the most flavourful in the world... The food have to be sweet, salty, savoury, sour, spicy and the list goes on.... Just take me , myself as an example...I love my Milo kosong kaw.... for the chocolatey taste.. and my tomyam soup must have the right amount of sour, spicy, salty and sweet... Many Malaysians are just like me, we do not like bland food and that is why to us, Malaysian food is always the best....

As a mum, as my child was growing up, I monitored her TV programmes and well, I always allowed my daughter when she was a pre-schooler to only watch Disney Junior, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Nick JR which I trusted to have the best programmes to help with her development as well as improving on her English speaking skills...Besides, they have the cutest characters that sometimes, I am drawn to plop down beside my little one and watch it together with her too....

Quill City Mall, known as one of the latest lifestyle
destination in KL has recently announced its Shop
& Dine Fiesta where shoppers stand a chance to win a BMW 2 Series,
exclusive holidays and a host of other great prizes.

Quill City Mall, which was officially launched in January 2015 is a rich blend of shopping and dining in a
wonderfully designed and exhilarating setting that enhances the pleasure of
shopping, dining and urban living in Kuala Lumpur.

“The only way I can
cope with the cost of living is would be to marry a rich man.” That was what a
young Malaysian graduate said after recounting her need of
having to pay her father RM500 each month so she could use his car to get to
work. She also said she does not have enough savings for a down payment for a
house on her meagre salary, and has to share a house with seven others.

Though some people deemed her as being a spoilt brat for demanding
a cushy life almost immediately after graduating, many others agree with her
over the rising cost of living in Malaysia

How do I start this post... ok... I couldn't decide where to start.. but well.. I was at Lot 10 with my daughter who begged and insisted she wanted to come along to see HAHA live at the 11street event there...and little girl got her dream come through even though we were not lucky enough to get a pic or two with the man himself..

Face masks are one of my favorite skin care products I enjoy
indulging in. They’re easy to apply, fun
to use and best of all,it leaves the feeling of tightened and toned skin after
a single use! So when I was given the chance to review and try out some masks.... you won't begin to imagine how euphoric I felt...

Face masks are the best skin care treatment to help you with your skin care concerns. Good face mask can help hydrate your skin, remove excess oils and help improve the appearance of your pores. They’re also an effective and amazing way to help get rid of impurities. And the best of it has to be the feeling of being pampered like you’re at a spa from the comfort of your own home! Yes or yes???

Dry skin is a common problem. Dry skin can be genetically
determined or a result of a stressful lifestyle coupled with continual exposure
to the sun, wind and chemicals in the environment. It’s a bane, and many people
have it. I know , because I happen to be one of these people with dry skin...

Wrinkles in fact are said to one of the effects of dry skin, because,
well, if your skin is well hydrated,
your wrinkles plump up and become less noticeable.

Do any of these symptoms seem familiar to you? Feeling of
discomfort, fine lines and wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, premature ageing,
dry skin, tight skin, uneven skin, redness, flaking, scaling, itching? If
you’ve ticked some of these symptoms, you could be having dry skin.

I was up early on Sunday morning and was at the Royal Lake Gardens aka Taman Tasik Perdana at 6.30am... There was already so many people who were there clad in sky blue t shirts, prepping themselves for the run.

Yes, I was there for a run, ISETAN Kuala Lumpur's 25th anniversary birthday run in partnership with Hope Worldwide Malaysia as part of its corporate social responsibility initiation...

Everyone in Kuala Lumpur should know ISETAN. It is one of my favourite departmental store to visit for quality or choice products. ISETAN is not only well known in Kuala Lumpur but there are ISETAN stores throughout Japan and East Asia,
including Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Jinan, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor,
Shanghai, Singapore and Tianjin.

During Chinese New Year, there is nothing more important then the Reunion Dinner, where all members of the family make the effort and the trip to return home from wherever they are for the dinner...The reunion dinner which is held on the eve of New Year is a time where families gather over an extravagant meal. Food plays a major role for the Chinese. Hence, during the the Chinese New Year reunion dinner, families will often splurge and indulge in a good dinner.

Yours truly was excited to be invited to check out the Chinese New Year 2016 food review... Whaaat??? A Chinese New Year food review in November when it is not even Christmas yet??

Oh, the reason why China Treasures restaurant at the Sime Darby Convention Centre is having their Chinese New Year review now is to offer HUGE and I mean HUGE savings to families to pre book their reunion dinner now !!!!

I must admit I suffer from back pain, muscle aches and knee pain every once in a while. I think it is unavoidable since age is catching up with me and my bones , muscles and all are slowly but surely deteriorating.....sighhhh....

Back
pain is quite a common problem. Most episodes of back pain get better quickly.
Simple analgesics (pain-relieving medication) and a change of activity are
generally all that is needed.

About
half of all people who get back pain will have however have further episodes.
The first step to managing back pain is to rule out the possibility of any
medical problem, so it is important to get it checked out if the pain is
constantly there….

Muscle
aches are known as muscle pain, myalgia, or simply pain in the muscles. Muscle
aches are also pretty common. Almost everybody has likely experienced
discomfort in his or her muscles at some point because almost every part of the
body has muscle tissue, so this type of pain can be felt practically anywhere.

There was once upon ago, I did not know there were so many luxury watches- and some that even cost more then even a luxury bungalow, then I some how got to know a friend who was a watch enthusiast, and I learn a little about Rolex and Patek Phillippe and so on....It was definitely fascinating and so intriguing...so it will be a wonderful opportunity for me to take A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME this 20th to 27th November 2015....

One of the easiest ways to perk up your mood is to have a makeover. A hair makeover done by a professional can dramatically perk up your current hairstyle and inject some vivacity in your life.

Thus I felt like I did need some pick me up as well as something different in my life to get me going...and so I headed to my favourite hair salon, Daisuke Salon de Coiffure... Stepping foot inside Daisuke Salon is always fun, like visiting friends because everyone there from Daisuke-san and his lovely wife, Ai to all the stylists are very friendly and accomodating, unlike some other places where I have been to where services can be stilted and awkward....

Almost all of us have scars that we obtain from
life which will serve as memories and lessons; some good and some
painful ones, but well "scars" are always quite painful....

What is a scar? There are two different main kind of scars…

1)A scar
is a permanent patch of skin that grows over a wound. It forms when your body starts to heals
itself after you get a cut,
scrape, burn or so on...

You
can also get scars from surgery that cuts through the skin, infections like
chickenpox, or skin conditions like acne. Scars are quite thicker, pinker or shinier, than the normal tone of your skin.

Scars
can fade over time but never go away completely. If the way an external scar looks
bothers you, various treatments might minimize it. These can include surgical
revision, dermabrasion, laser treatments, injections, chemical peels, creams and oils...

Being a mom of a tween girl, I am sure my daughter and all other kids her age would definitely be looking forward to this new Nickelodeon offering.... heaven knows, the parents would be as well, at least I am !!! Heheheh....

Yours truly was over at the Puteri Harbour, Nusajaya at Sanrio Hello Kitty Town with a few Kuala Lumpur Bloggers, Members of the Press and also Singaporean Bloggers to witness the media launch of the Hello Kitty in Oz!!

It was exciting and cuteness overload especially for most of us girls and ladies who were there.. Cannot help it right, if many of us females are huge fans of this adorable Hello Kitty...
